Our thinking is, if you’re asking this question then yeah, it probably is.

In this blog we’ll help you understand that replacing your current accounting and business software is easier thank you may think and that a modern, cloud-based technology platform is within reach.

Let’s start with some of the frustrations we hear on a near daily basis from customers, they may sound familiar:

• My SME finances are proving increasingly difficult to manage on our current accounting platform
• We’re concerned that our systems are having a negative impact on our customer experience and our sales
• We’re wasting too much time dealing with multiple systems that can’t talk to each other
• Creating and configuring reports is too complicated, we often don’t trust the information that comes out
• Our data is all over the place, making simple decisions is difficult
• Compliance and security concerns keep me up at night
• We’re storing too much data in our offices, we need to transition to the cloud

Dynamics 365 Business Central is the answer – but why?

Business Central is Microsoft’s SME business management solution that’s connecting people and processes across organisations with the financial, sales, service, and operations information that helps their organisations to run successfully and efficiently.

Importantly, especially as the way we work becomes ever more remote, Business Central is a cloud application, meaning your organisation can stay connected with its people and its data in a highly secure environment, ensuring you can meet customer demand from virtually anywhere. What’s more, if you chose Kick as your Business Central partner into your organisation then we have the capability to deploy on cloud, on premise or as a hybrid cloud solution hosted within our datacentre.

Here’s the top 4 Business Central capabilities that can help any SME:

• Enhanced Financial Visibility: Accelerate financial close, chart financial performance in real time, and improve forecast accuracy while maintaining compliance and security
• Improved Customer Sales and Service: Manage the sales process from start to finish within Outlook (everyone knows Outlook, right?) and deliver exceptional service with a connected view of customers and service operations.
• Supply Chain Optimisation: Maximise profitability with an end-to-end view across operations, purchasing, manufacturing, inventory, and warehouse management.
